There were no other entries this year, in the annual contest billed as the first real-world Turing Test. Due to technical issues ALICE, the contest winner in 2000, 2001 and 2004, was not entered in this years' competition. It seems that many others stayed away as well. The contest will be held on October 21 at Loebner's apartment in New York City.
